Assessing the Increasing Incidence of Prostate Cancer in Urban Delhi: Risk Factors, Early Detection, and Treatment Challenges
Abstract: Background: Prostate cancer has emerged as the second most prevalent cancer among men in India, with rapidly increasing incidence rates in urban areas like Delhi. This rise is attributed to urbanization, lifestyle changes (high-fat diets, tobacco use, sedentary behavior), increased life expectancy, and improved diagnostics. Despite its growing burden, low awareness, limited screening programs, and treatment barriers hinder early detection and effective management. This study examines the epidemiological trends, risk …

Review on Increasing the Kappa Reduction in Oxygen Delignification Stage at Pulp Mills
Abstract: The use of oxygen delignification in bleached kraft pulp mills to reduce the lignin content of pulp prior to final bleaching is increasing worldwide. However, oxygen treatments are normally limited to less than 50% lignin removal to avoid excessive loss of pulp strength potential. More selective oxygen delignification processes are required which can extend lignin removal beyond 50% while maintaining final pulp quality. Work reported here has shown that pulp …
